I know port 80 is one of well-know-port, but I am confused that if I build the website server process on other port except of 80, would it works when other client try to access this website server?

  • Of course. Clients would just need to specify the port since it's not using the default/standard port. Have you tried? Did something not work as expected? – David May 09 '22 at 14:36

Port 80 is the default port for http. So connecting to http://domain would in essence send you to http://domain:80 (by default).

Port 443 is the default for https and would work the same way as stated for http above.

Any other port would require the you to do url:port to connect to. There are definitely ways to get around this (like forwarding) but I don't see the need for it and I think it causes more issues than anything.

You would also need to make sure that the new port is open, forwarded and can receive connections.
